Problem Opening Two Applications At the Same Time that Both Use the BDE

I am having a problem opening two applications at the same time that both
use the BDE. I can only open them individually. One of the applications is
ProLaw which uses ODBC. The other is a Delphi application that uses Paradox
tables. Any suggestions?

What is the problem you are having??? Is an error message displayed? If so,
what is it?

Chris,

I'd like to know what errors you get as well.  I recently wrote a C++Builder
app that opens the same databases as another app written with Delphi and
they have no problems...

Chris,  It is most probable that both are using the same Private Directory.
The lock files introduced when the first application opens prevents the next
application from doing so.  Usually with a Directory is Busy error.
